The Song of the Spirit

I'd sprinkle a spring on your winter
and paint a sunrise on your dusk
I'd brighten your nights with the radiance of smiles
and fill your mornings with the fragrance of musk
I'm your hope, I shall live in your heart
and tint your vision with promise and dream
I'm your strength, I'd not let you fall
and protect you from going adrift in the Stream
I'm the spirit, with me you were born
Let me live and grow, and listen to my voice
For if you forget, stifle me or abandon
Lonely without yourself shall you be for life

I may look the other way, but it's only coz' I know you have my back.
Don't take my sudden indifference for abandonment, coz' you know we part only at the curtains.

A spirited, cheering, calming, idea-generating poem! Keep writing these...

I don't think I am being tempted by either hope or spirit.

A soothing, invigorating poem. Thankfully simple! ;) Perfectly rhythmic too, except for some syllables fluctuating in lines, but that really doesn't matter!

Don't take me for granted, for indifference kills me sometimes
If you turn your back away from Light, all you're is blind.

Will try.

You don't think?
then don't THINK.
Just feel.

But dont give me more praise than i deserve :)

[desperado]
It's just a thought, the lines are incidental, words not even properly chosen.And yes we do stifle the spirit too much, and then it withers and with us we do.
And then we ask ourselves, where at what junction did we lose ourselves....

Read the poem again...aah it's so nice-sounding, I feel like hugging someone!!

Vik said...

aiven hi!?! Anyway, now let me talk myself into believing that you're not an evil spirit, and so the determination of the Spririt as in the poem to not leave me is.. Great!
